New year dog-party

We saw-in the new year in Maple Falls, Washington. Whilst Maple Falls is nice, the real draw was Mount Baker and the park-and-play backcountry skiing available down there. It's almost like drive-though Wendy's, but for mountains. We took advantage of the stable snow, good visibility and massive amount accumulated festive season calories to do a circuit around Table Mountain with some excellent skiing on the way.

What goes around? We did.

Other than gobbling yet more lovely food, which I seriously need a break from now, and skiing around mountains we had a fine number of four-legged friends to play with. Our new-years day ski was a genuine dog-party.
The small white one

How many dogs can you find in the picture?
And finally, here's a couple of things which slipped through the (inter)net. Can you see what I did there? It's a joke. Like, "slipped through the net", but on the.... oh, never mind.



Our new plant apparently likes 2013. Thanks Marc and Nikki!
